Darius Morris on "The Butterfly"

Although this was assumed, the truth finally came out of Darius Morris after the game on Saturday. I was outside the locker room talking to a few players after the game and after waiting a while I finally got to talk to Darius. I asked him what he thought about the nickname BTN gave him: the Butterfly, he gave me the same answer that he repeats over and over in interviews but after a slight pause he admitted what he really thinks of the nickname "I'm just honored that they gave me a nickname........ but I wish they'd change it." I know this was assumed but I found it amusing that he admitted it. And BTW For those of you who didn't know (idk if they mentioned it on TV or not) he played with "flu-like" symptoms on Saturday. I was suprised when he told me because he still played pretty well.

Someone (it may have been here; I can't remember) proposed that his nickname become "The Monarch." That would work. Doyle could keep his dumb analogy without resorting to an emasculating nickname, and everyone else could call him that because of his floor leadership. Plus, there's some alliteration: Darius "The Monarch" Morris.
